We stayed at the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.seawitchmanor.com\/\">Sea Witch Manor <\/a>in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It is a great little bed and breakfast in a great little beach town where we can park the car and never have to move it again (if we wanted) until it is time to leave.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/seawitch1.jpg\" title=\"Sea Witch\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/seawitch1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Sea Witch\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/seawitch2.jpg\" title=\"Sea Witch again\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/seawitch2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Sea Witch again\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We walked the boardwalk a few times during the trip, as it is an excellent place to people watch; and thus, provide our own running commentary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/board1.jpg\" title=\"On the Boardwalk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/board1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"On the Boardwalk\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/board2.jpg\" title=\"On the Boardwalk again\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/board2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"On the Boardwalk again\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, we did not get as much beach time as we would have liked because of the thunderstorms that kept passing through the area while we were down there. But those few hours that we did get were appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho3.jpg\" title=\"Sunrise\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho3.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Sunrise\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho4.jpg\" title=\"Dunes\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho4.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Dunes\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We did make a little side trip to Lewes, Delaware, which is a quaint little town that is within biking distance (though we drove up there.)

Mr. Penney&#8217;s parents are thinking of moving back up this way after moving down South a couple years ago. What do you think of these places for them? (Not that they are up for sale, but one can dream&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho1.jpg\" title=\"Future home?\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho1.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Future home?\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho2.jpg\" title=\"Or this one?\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/reho2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Or this one?\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Penney received most of his birthday presents before we left, but I was able to surprise him with something while we were down in Reho.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/roses.jpg\" title=\"Mr. Penney\u2019s b-day\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/roses.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Mr. Penney\u2019s b-day\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As for other things we did, we danced, we drank, we ate, we had fun. We can definitely recommend <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chezlamer.com\/\">Chez La Mer<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cafezeus.com\/\">Cafe Zeus<\/a>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoneylonen.com\/\">Stoney Lonen <\/a>as places to eat. YUM.<\/p>\n<p>All good things come to an end though. Here we are, just before check out. I am the one that is always uncomfortable in front of the camera.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/parlor2.jpg\" title=\"Parting shot\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/parlor2.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Parting shot\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is back to work for me. I will update y&#8217;all later on the progress of projects, including the new doggie bed for Bogey, who is currently sleeping off his abandonment issues since returning home from the kennel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reference Photos courtesy of Mr. Penney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-getaway","category-rambling"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
